Summary

Josh Dean is a photographer and graduate of "the school of YouTube." Even though his field is notoriously competitive, he believes strongly in helping other photographers thrive. joshdeanphotography.com instagram.com/joshdeanphoto 7:53 MIN I started doing photography back in 2011 part-time. About a year and a half ago I finally went full-time in my photography business. I primarily focus on high school seniors, branding portraits and a subscription for people who need social media photography. 11:07 MIN I was into music for a while but realized it wasn't really my passion. I was always intrigued with my ex brother-in-law's camera so I bought a Nikon in 2011 and just got started. 15:37 MIN I got my camera and went to what I call "the school of YouTube" and just learned as I went. I taught myself to use the camera, Lightroom and Photoshop. 16:52 MIN The most challenging thing about what I do, like many others, is marketing. Getting my name out there. Photography is competitive. It's hard to ask for help in the beginning because of that. As I grow, I want to help solve that problem by mentoring other photographers and help them grow. If we work together there's plenty of work out there for everybody. If you help someone else it will come back ten-fold. 20:00 MIN I used to be so shy that I would never consider networking. Reading "Do Hard Things" and learning about Mel Robbins' five-second rule has helped me to just get over my fear. Just count down five, four, three, two, one and just do it. I wanted to legitimize myself so I had to just join the Chamber, get out there and make it work. 23:20 MIN Most people join the Chamber or The Exchange or any community and don't put anything into it, it's not going to work. You can't just expect to get stuff out of it if you don't put anything in. You'll be disappointed if you go in with expectations. Just go and ask how you can help other people? That mindset is best. 26:43 MIN A 9-5 pace was never for me. I like to go to the gym, get some work done at a tea shop, go to a shoot and then probably get a little networking in. 27:50 MIN The hardest thing for me was getting started. You can Google but it's helpful for someone to hold your hand through that. To overcome that, find someone you trust and you can ask.
